5 / 5 I've had the original DX7, then got myself a DX7 II-s (I modded it with the Grey Matter Response E! Board, anyone remember that?), and finally an SY-77 just because it had 'real' pianos for gigs. I still have the latter two. This is the closest I've heard to the real thing. Not exactly identical, but 1) remember the velocity issue - all Yamaha keyboards at the time were limited to around 105 max velocity. Maybe the plugin could use an option to map 0-127 to 0-105 or whatever the limit was? Ableton Live 9.7 Suite for MAC is an excellent digital audio workstation software developed to provide tools for editing and creating various musical compositions for New features on Ableton Live 9.7 Suite – Mac version. New slicing modes. Beat devisions, Regions and Manual are now available. This would make some patches less squeaky/harsh. 2) This plugin only emulates the digital circuits that performed FM. The sound of the hardware synth also has D/A converters and preamps. These add some noise, distortion, 'grit', 'magic' or 'mojo', whatever you want to call it. I haven't tried, but I guess that if you really want a phylologically perfect emulation, it would only require: a) limiting the velocities by some clever DAW remapping, b) inserting a couple of plugins after dexed's output: add some noise, maybe add bit reduction to 12 bit (if it isn't 12 bit already) and a (little) bit of preamp simulation (but no tube preamps, guys!). 5 / 5 Some of the people on here have no idea of the beauty of FM. I own a real DX7 and this is the nearest I've heard to the real synth. I love the sound of FM it is my favorite type of synthesis. I also have FM8 and this is soooo much better than FM8 in my opinion. There is nothing wrong with the GUI at all. I've been looking for a good DX7 editor librarian and this is a dream come true. Thank you so much. You have made me very happy. Some of the people complaining here haven't got a clue about FM. Don't listen to them. This is well worth the download. 5 / 5 Holy crap we live in permanent science fiction. We have the sum total of human knowledge in the palm of our hands. We can never get lost or bored. And now I can download a tiny bit of code for free and suddenly I have a DX7 synth that is far superior to the original. How is it superior you ask? Have you ever tried to program the original DX7? We all gave up and just pressed for the next patch. It was a nightmare. This positively begs for tweaking. It's superbly designed and sounds great. Does it sound exactly like a DX7? Well which DX7 do you want to compare it to, since they all sounded a little different. This is close enough and when you integrate it into a track it does exactly what we used them for all those years ago. To cut through everything else and stand out front in the mix. I can't recommend this enough and Digital Suburban should get the Nobel Prize for coolness. BTW to people like 'thefixer' and 'POS Master' all I can say is 'WOW really?' I dare you to try and do half of what this guy has done. He didn't even go down the old Synthedit route. He coded this all from scratch and produced an excellent tight synth for those of us who remember what it was really like in the glorious 'Analog' days. 3 / 5 Great for free. Some cool features that no other freeware fm synth has. The GUI is slick, astheticly pleasing, and nicely laid out, all on one page, thats what I like:), but. I'm guessing the GUI was designed more with the app, than the vst in mind, its cramped, and yet only uses 1/4 of the screen. Make it bigger. It would be nice if you could manipulate the graphic displays too. The biggest problem is the sound quality. The operators have really audiable pitch steps, even the fine tuning, there are problems with envelopes with short release times too. The overall sound quality is pretty poor in comparison to commercial fm vst's. A valiant effort, but sound quality is everything. Thanks for sharing this, I had fun playing with it, your definitley on the right lines,I'll definitly be checking out the next version, but there's still a lot of work to be done before this is a viable alternative to the FM vstis I use. Richard Jan 20 2015 Lulz i crack up reading that. So it is an exact recreation of a classic fm synth sound. Can you not read that again and realise how idiotic you sound (comparing the DX7 to commercial synths that feature fm). Have you perhaps also thought you might need to learn about applying effects to the signal? 0 / 5 I agree with 'thefixer' you might be able to make some sounds if it weren't for that wretched gui with it's tiny unmarked knobs and no way of knowing the signal paths. Maybe if you had severe autism this might make sense! Oh yeah you also have to load C++ runtimes on your computer to run it!
